Storms as a defense?

[Alneyan]

The other storms can also be very mean, if they stack: they will work all the time, unlike damaging storms that you might avoid. Less shield and/or less accuracy can be relatively nasty, and if you happen to have the Talisman... Well, let's just say nobody will bother you anytime soon.

I do not think there is any limit on the maximum amount of storms over one sector, so go stack'em!

It seems that if you create one storm and destroy another on the same turn in the same sector, though, that the new storm will always be of the same type as the old storm.... Or maybe that's just my bad luck

Only the damaging storms stack. The damage is applied as all or nothing, so sometimes you can move a fleet through without taking any damage. The odds of harm for 1000 damaging storms is no higher than the odds for one damaging storm.

I have no proof, but I suspect that if you include at least one ship with a storm destroying component, you have a better chance of entering the storm safely.

It could be that destroy storm always destroys the last storm that's been made.

Try destroying a storm, moving 1 square then back, then creating a storm. If it works similar to creating planets it should change. I haven't tried it myself yet with storms though.

[NullAshton]

Theoretically, you could destroy the existing storm, move out of the sector, move back in, then create a storm.

You can use storms as defense? What a novel idea.....
